Development of a Software Platform with Blockchain Implementation for Settlements in Local Energy Systems (Microgrid)

The work is devoted to automating the management of the transactional energy network and developing software platforms to expand the capabilities of Microgrid participants to carry out settlements in accordance with the realities of the financial market. Possible solutions have been formulated for the architecture and technical capabilities of the software platform with the possibility of carrying out transactions of purchase and sale of electricity in the vicinity of both fiat and cryptocurrencies. The software platform is based on blockchain technology and the use of smart contracts. Model tests were carried out using the proposed architecture of the central data processing unit of the smart control system.
